Hi friends,
I have problem with my Nokia 7 plus. I don`t know how this happened but my imei has been changed.
The guarantee is finished, but it was at the guarantee once and it is possible they changed it there.
Operators have blocked my phone`s imei so i can not use the phone right now. I have to restore the imei or change it.
I have reset the the phone totally, hard reset and factory reset but no luck.
Is there any way to restore it or change it ?
Thank you !

Help!
I bought a O2X and didn't know he was blocked. When attempting to unlock the following message appeared:
"This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked"
Can anyone help me? He came blocked by the operator Movistar.
Tks
Return it and ask for a refund?
Sent using gum and some sticks just as McGyver would
Change sim card, turn on device while holding volume down key, do a factory reset, flash a baseband which also does a factory reset.
Those are my tips.
it seems that the carrier locked it by imei... probably the phone was stolen from someone and the person "participate?!" it to the carrier / police...
solution? bring it to someone with an box and change the imei or clean it. i heard about some android phones when flashing some cooked rom they lost the imei but i dont know if that happend with p990..
Yeap... unintended change of imei does happen specifically when using CM roms, there is even a tutorial somewhere in the forum here on how to restore your original imei for o2x. So instead of restoring to original imei...you can use same technique to change the imei. Use the search function.
Hi All,
Something really strange just happen with my GT-I9295.
So I got the 4.2.2 version from the box. I recived an automatic upgrade which I have accepted and installed. But strangly after installation the version still 4.2.2. One week later the IMEI number just disapeard durring the night and cannot recover it anymore.
Network
Unknown
IMEI
Unknown
I didn't installed any custom ROMs, nothing.
I found that the IMEI number should be in EFS folder after factory data reset, but this file is missing there.
I have my IMEI under the back-cover, but how I can re-enter it in my phone ?
I heard the param.bin for gti9295 could help ? Could somone drop it here ?
I bought the phone 2 weeks ago
When I tried to repair it I have root it. How I can check my KNOX counter to see if I can send it back to Samsung ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english!
Hi everyone,
Hope you can help me solve this, cuz I'm way out of my knowledge..
My phone broke the lcd and was out of action for a few months.. After I finally got a replacement screen, the phone wasn't working and said IMEI unknown, I've tried to flash a few roms via recovery but nothing. So I just went crazy and flashed it via kies. It worked, the imei appeared but the phone was locked again..
Back to the shelf a few weeks until I could afford to pay for unlock.. When I picked it up, it was unknown IMEI again and the guy at the shop basically told me he couldn't help.
Was he right? I refuse to believe I can't recover the phone.. Can you please help?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Are you sure is that phone imei is not blocked, because provider may block if it is stolen reported.
I had the same problem after changing display IMEI unknown
But somehow it was saved from 'unknown IMEI' I don't know how.
restored efs from previous backup (twrp & philz recovery)
- no imei
I flashed stock
- no IMEI
asop
- no imei
tried different modems
again stock
- suddenly its worked
(some users reported flashing different modems worked for them)
Yes I'm sure imei is not blocked by network. Have a friend that bought a phone which he discovered the hard way it was stolen, anyway, blocked imei by network behavior is completely different.
This is what happened to me first time only valid imei after kies rom update.

If you see imei again, Make a backup using pc, there is a guide in development section. So, you can easily restore again.
My IMEI shows 350000000000006. Most of the advice I've seen on this is to flash the stock firmware. I've tried this multiple times and it hasn't worked for me. I don't have a backup of the EFS partition that I can restore, but I do know what the actual IMEI is. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chad
There is no way to fix that, I was facing the same problem after I updated my phone to Nougat, after trying every possible solution i.e. Odin flash, factory reset, contacting T-Mobile, I couldn't find a solution, and I had to get it fixed by a Z3X box, so find a good repair shop with Z3X box, and they will repair it for you, also, changing the IMEI is illegal in some countries, so you may have difficulties finding someone to repair your phone. After the repair, I couldn't upgrade to Nougat and I am stuck with Marshmallow because the Z3X fix didn't support Nougat at that time (a month ago).
My friend asked me to fix her phone and I am seeing the same thing, however when I boot to download mode and use the "show barcode" option (push home button instead of vol+) it shows me the proper IMEI, and the IMEI is also printed on the back of the phone. I thought that maybe because I can still see the IMEI in the "show barcode" that the EFS partition is not corrupt, but I'm starting to think it definitely is...
If I remember correctly you can change your IMEI with an Xposed module.
This had happened to me before theres 2 ways to solve this
Either replace the motherboard with another one
or take it into your carrier and say the sim card doesnt work(make sure its on stock firmware
Yesterday suddenly my Nokia 8 didn't detect any SIM or Wifi (like in airplane mode), and then I realize that the IMEI is gone / lost. I suspect the IMEI thing that causing the problem. How could I restore them? I'v done network reset and factory reset.
Please help. Thanks.

Be honest? What were you trying to do with your IMEI? Im guessing you were trying to change it and messed things up huh? Because how do you know it was caused by it if you didnt try to fiddle with it in the first place. I mean, no one thinks to go check they IMEI number as soon as network and Sim stop working. Either way, I cant help you. Maybe google some tricks to fix it or send it back for repair
Last thing I do before it's messed up was make aeroplane mode on and reset network. And then suddenly sim + wifi is not working
Btw i just did flashing with NOST, but again imei is still lost and sim+wifi not working.
